Government Terrorism in Russia.

General Strelnikoff s plan Was to
arrest simultaneously large number 81
persons belonging to the "untrust-
worthy" class throw them into prison,
keep them for ten days or
two weeks in the strictcst soli-
tarv confinement, aud then subject
them to q terrifying inquisltorial eXami-
nation, with the hope of eXtortlng scraps
Of information, here a little and there a
little, which might be p;eced together
like the parts of dissected map,
so as to reveal the outlines of
q revolutionary plot. If, for example, "A
young girl belonged to an "untrust-
worthy" family, and suspicious let
ter to her had been intercepted by the
authorities or if she had been seen
coming ont of suspicious " house at q
late hour in the evening, she was arrested
in one of the police raids, generally at
night, conveyed in close carriage to the
Odessa prison, put into a small solitary
confinement cell, and left to her own
agonlzng thoughts. No explanation
was given her of this summary proceed
ing, and if she appealed to the SEN
tinel on duty in the corridor the only re-
ply she obtained was Prjkozoao nc
gdyarU -" Talking is forbidden" The
effect produced upon young. lnexpe-
rienced. impossible girl by tho over
whelming shock of such Il transition
from the repose, quiet, and security OF
her own bedroom, III her own home, to
a narrow, gloomy cell in a common
criminal prison AT night, can readily be
imagined. Even if she were girl
OF courage aud firmness OF char
acter, Der self-control might give
way under the strain of such an ordeal.
The sounds which break the still
ness of Russian criminal prison at
night-the stealthy tread of the guard
/ the faintly-heard cries and struggles OF a
drunken and disorierly "casua. who
is beng strapped to his bed in another
part of the prisOn-cries which suggest
To an inexperienced girl some terrible
scene of violence and outrage; the oc-
casional cleng of a heavy door; the
moaning and hysterical weeping of other
recently-arrested prisoners in cells or
the same corridor, and the sudden and
HOistieSS appearances now anu thV
Of an unknown human face at the lit
tie square portfolio in the cell-door
through which the prisoners are watch
I ed-all combine to make the first night
OF young girl in prison an experience
never to be forgotten while she lives.
This experience, however, is only the
beginning of the trial which her courage
and self-control are destined to undergo.
/ One day passes-two days-three days
/ ten days-without bringing any news
from the outside world, or any
information concerning the nature
OF the charges made against her.
Twice every twenty-four hours food
is handed to her through the square
portfolio by the taciturn guard,
but nothing else breaks the monotony
and the solitude of her life. She has no
books, no writing materials, no means
whatever OF diveitIng her thoughts or
relieving the mental strain which soon
becomes almost uncomfortable. Tortured
by apprehension and by uncertainty as
to her own fate aud the fate OF those

An Old picture Of Mr. Cleveland.

Judge George S. Wardell, OF the mu-
nicipal court, has small card-size pho
tograph of tall, slender young nan,
with rather heavy moustache and long
hair. The portrait is full length, and
tue young man is leaning against a
column or pedestal The Judge has
shown his picture to many people, but
nobody thus far has recognized it. On
the reverse, however, is the autograph,
IN a rather cramped, small hand,
Grover Cleveland, 1862" The sigua-
ture can be recognized il a moment by
those who have seen it, but the subject
of the photograph has changed wonder
fully in personal appearance.

WHY THE BROOKLYN DEM Gratis REFUSE TO HELP
HIN NOW AS THEY FORMERLY DID.
Evidences multiplying that tho Democratic
leaders In Brooklyn have abandoned Chief Engineer
Thomas l.. Ncyins to his fate, and that he VIII be
made scapcgoat for the party In order to benefit
those who have Iroated by his misdeeds, and ena-
bic them to rid OF the work Of defending his pecu
liar operations. Since he has held bis responsible
position In the Fire Department he has been twice
indicted before but in each case the indictments
quietly pigeon-holcd and never brought TO trial But
When the Irand Jury for nay indicted him Tor grand
larceny In securing money ftom the electro nsnt
company 10 ITUcuro Aidcrmanlc franchise, he was
eager TO be tired no dJuDt Expecting an acqulttai
with the Influences which would be brought TO betbr
uLOn tho Jury But IL significant that while the
Grand Jury In session Boss" Mclaughlin was
and he and his heutenants were loudly protesting
that the Grand Jury al right. The facts that
John Y. McKane boldly whewashed" by the
Grand Jury and nothing was done In regard to the
Nevins al 20 show that he was selected as sacn-
nco.
This conclusion was strengthened by the statement
OF District Attorney Rdgway yesterday that he saw
M reason WHY Ncvins should not be convicted lie
could to the satisfaction OF the jury by the de-
PENDANT himself that he received the money 1t would
also be made clear that he made no attempt 10 usc
it for tho purpose alleged whom It was secured bu0
quietly Kept the whole sum. Mr. Iudgway added that
he would prosecute the 90 the extent OF his abll
lty and believed no had pnma facie evidence which
would DO certain to secure conviction.
The reason for throwing Ncvlns overheard on the
part Of the Democrats I'm power In the party In Brook
iyn s not thouqht TO be because he secured money
10 corrunt the Aldermen but disgust because he kept
tho money himself Instead OF passing IL onto the mon
controlling the Common Council. One OF them said
Yesterday I'm .gusted tono. "Seyfns Il big stun
lie has fattened the party for years and has COB,
bled all he could get We don't want him any more"
